[Kroupware] Synchronization of deleted data

[Jason A. Pattie]

Has anyone given any thought to leaving deleted data (calendar, 
contacts, todo, notes) in the form of an e-mail message marked deleted 
on the kolab/IMAP server and not purging.

Since IMAP servers have the concept of deleted messages, this would 
greatly simplify synchronization of deleted data between clients.  Right 
now, when one client deletes data, another client can/usually will put 
it back since it does not know that it was deleted.

All this would require that you don't purge IMAP after each 
transaction(?) and you check deleted data on the server against local 
data thereby deleting the correct local data and not pushing that local 
data back to the server -- like it currently does, because it thinks it 
is missing.

There should be a "purge" feature/button/menu entry/something so that a 
user, after knowing that all their events, contacts, etc. have been 
synchronized, can purge the deleted IMAP data.

Hopefully this hasn't been too brain mesmerizing.
